I am so very proud of SASS!
I just wanted to share with you a very special video. This is a video from a human rights summit at the United Nations in New York! The opening speech was done by a very dear childhood friend of Nix. Her name is Sass Rogando Sassot. A leading voice and light of transgendered rights in the Philippines. I have met her on several occasions and each time I meet her, she really never ceases to amaze me.

I implore you to listen to what she has to say as perhaps this will enlighten your thoughts and views on our transgendered sisters. Her speech brought me to tears. It is important for all of us to open our hearts and minds to the mysteries of all forms of lifestyles and orientations. Sass’s words are beautiful just as beautiful as she is!
BRAVO SASS!
MABUHAY KA!!!!!
HUGS!
RAJO!

The only way to start change is to really share this to everyone we know! Compassion and understanding is what everyone should be concentrating on. Always remember the golden rule!
It was so awakening…
At first I thought I pay little attention to the video, but as it goes on I realized how serious it is and how it could really start change. I hope a lot of poeple or the whole nation could watch this…
To Ms. Sassot, I personally admire you and your advocacy…
rajo,
maraming maraming salamat!
warm hugs,
sass
